Method and scopeRead how CRM assesses relevance, reliability, currency, corroboration and limitations.
EVIDENCE ARCHITECTURE

Keep four evidential levels separate

The identity of the speaker, verifier and decision-maker determines evidential weight.

1

Allegation or testimony

Record attribution and avoid presenting an allegation as established fact.

2

Independent reporting

Assess method, access, corroboration, date and possible limitations.

3

Official country material

Official status does not remove the need to test scope and currency.

4

Judicial or institutional finding

State precisely what was decided and avoid extending it beyond its context.
